Background (Reasons for attempting The Race)

I'm coming to The Race primarily as a triathlete. My first triathlon was a charity event in 2007. After almost eight years focused mainly on triathlon I figured a new challenge was in order for 2015. I helped marshal the 2014 edition of The Race and while I enjoyed cheering everyone on, I was also mildly jealous seeing everyone taking on the challenge. The experience intrigued me so much that since then i have been hoping a 2015 edition would be announced! The longest races I've completed to date have all been middle distance triathlons and just three marathons so there will be a steep learning curve to get through over the coming winter in advance of next March.
